Ok, I just set up a twitter account for our community, http://twitter.com/mosaicbaptist
I’m sure you’ve all heard of it if you’re not already on it. Is it just a fad? possibly, but it’s a current medium for communication, and I’m open to ‘all means possible’ as the apostle paul declared.
Very basically for our purposes – it’s a short communication channel – you can think of it as a micro-blog that gets distributed to your twitter client (desktop appilcation, mobile phone / device, etc). There are many other uses for it, but we’ll keep it at that for now.
99% of people just don’t ‘get it’ and it’s something that needs to be used for a period of time with a decent network of people to actually see the value of it. We’ll give it a try here, if it doesn’t work out, that’s fine too, and it can just be a one-way broadcast medium. If you’d rather not try one more techy thing out there, you can always also view the latest 3 ‘tweets’ in the sidebar on the blog here.
Here’s an interesting post on why churches should not twitter – if you’re wondering or have apprehensions.
Otherwise, you can sign yourself up at http://twitter.com
You can ‘follow’ our church community at http://twitter.com/mosaicbaptist
You can follow me personally at http://twitter.com/lon
See you on the flip-side.
